Pros

The benefits are fairly good

Cons

1) Below Average Pay, 2) Poor Work Life Balance (Operations overworked with too many clients and Sales with unattainable sales goals in saturated territories, 3) Politicized/Cronyism at the 4th floor that impacts the rank and file, 4) Hypocrisy at the highest level with a multi-million corporate culture shaping initiative serving as a band aid to low pay, over work, and unattainable sales goals as an income cap. By the way, when they say uncapped earnings, please understand that they may not cap it on paper, but when your bonus and commission is tied to astronomical sales quotas you are realistically capped. Nice try Paychex Finance!

Pros

Nothing is good about working here.

Cons

Nobody is ever held accountable. Pay is awful. Benefits were all moved out of state, so all providers in the area are all out of network. Jobs are being moved to India. The list goes on. Sales is the absolute favorite department in the entire company. Nothing sales can do is ever wrong, even when they give false information to clients and then the support team has to deal with the fallback. Don't get me started on Payroll.... the entire department has gone to the wind. I honestly don't know how this company ever did good with payroll services. The #1 complaint i got from every single client I interacted with was they could never get ahold of their Payroll Specialist. The company's response to this was to start making other departments learn payroll duties. This year they moved insurance benefits to a plan out of Arkansas, which made every provider I was already seeing become out of network. I had my first major medical scare of my adulthood and ended up paying a few grand out of pocket because U of R was out of network. Promotions are non existent. They make you apply and interview for any role you want to move into. There is nothing good about working here, and i would advise anyone to stay away from them.
